Introduction
Nowadays, people are experiencing an increase in mental disorders, stress, depression, and psychotrauma. Such changes lead to a mental state called neurosis in psychotherapy. The term neurosis was introduced into science in 1769 by the Scottish physician William Cullen. Historically, it has been studied as a result of mental trauma, internal conflicts, and psychogenic factors, and was developed by Sigmund Freud and other psychoanalysts in the 19th and 20th centuries. Initially, neuroses were considered physical nervous diseases, but later more attention was paid to mental and emotional disorders. Currently, neurosis is associated with psychological trauma.
Causes leading to neurosis: constant stress, depression, chronic fatigue, poor daily routine, personal psychological factors. In a neurosis, a person’s emotional state, behavior, and quality of life are significantly reduced. Constant irritability, strong anxiety, panic, fear, sleep disturbances, various body pains, loss of interest in life, sticky fantasies in the brain, inability to concentrate, memory problems.
Review of the used literature..
In the present study, an analysis was carried out based on the scientific works of leading scientists in the field of psychotherapy and neuropsychology and the results of modern research to clarify the concept of neurosis and its causes. During the literature review, the theoretical foundations of the problem of neurosis and its causes were examined based on various approaches. In particular: Bessel and der Kolk’s trauma theory explains that childhood traumas later lead to neurotic states, and the importance of processing trauma through psychotherapy. The interdependence of the body and the psyche is interpreted as the main source. Joseph Le Doux connects neurosis with brain activity. This approach explains that a person develops a constant state of anxiety as a result of changing brain reactions to severe stress. Also, the works of scientists such as Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck are of great importance in the causes of neurosis and its reduction and elimination. Their research shows that neurosis is not only associated with brain activity, but also with cognitive, biological and traumatic factors. The literature written by local scientists covers the origin, causes and treatment of neurosis in detail. Neuropsychologist Zarifboy Ibodullayev. has scientifically proven that the origin of neurosis is based on social factors and psychotrauma. In general, a review of the literature used shows that neurosis was studied in different periods, based on different approaches, and its origin was based on a combination of biological, social and psychological factors.

Methodological analysis
This study helped to identify neurotic symptoms of anxiety and stress in students. The study involved 30 students aged 18-25. The research process was carried out in 2 stages.
At stage 1, a questionnaire was tested
At stage 2, the results were analyzed.
According to the analysis of the results of the questionnaire test, it was determined that neurotic states are manifested in students to varying degrees
15-30 – points – low-level neurotic state
31-55 – points – moderate neurotic state
56-75 – points – high-level neurotic state
Some of the respondents who participated in the study were observed to have frequent symptoms of anxiety and emotional tension. High-level neurotic symptoms were detected in 20% of students. 50% of students had moderate anxiety and stress, and 30% had low-level neurotic indicators. The analysis revealed that the occurrence of neurosis is most influenced by high academic workload, sleep disturbance, emotional stress, and anxiety.
Research conclusions: According to the results of the study conducted on students: neurotic symptoms were observed to be less frequent in students who regularly rested and engaged in physical activity. In order to prevent neurosis, students were recommended to conduct psychological training, organize a proper rest regimen, and develop emotional stability.
